Jason is pulling a box across the room. He is pulling with a force of 27 newtons and his arm is making a 49 angle with the horizontal, what is the horizontal component of the force he is pulling with?

hi <3

i think this makes more sense if you draw a diagram

so basically, as we are working out the horizontal component, decide if you need to use sin or cos.

as the side is next to the angle, you would use cosine.

thus, your answer would be 27cos49

(the vertical component would be 27sin49)

hope this helps :)

207/8 is the right

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.
